Yesterday afternoon. I felt illness all of a sudden. I was about to get up from the sofa while I felt dizzy as if everything were spinning around. Then my head ached a lot of. That is a kind of feeling you have when you get drunk. I go to the hospital nearby, where I was given a medical examination. To my relief, there was something seriously wrong with me. The doctor said the symptom was probably caused by too many pressure and tiredness. Now I think it necessarily to forget my work for little while.

Can you imagine the world full of crying and shouting, 1. (cover) in darkness? However, it’s not just a joke. It’s a real description of a world without happiness and 2. (laugh).
If you compare our life 3. a pie, what would you put in if you were in charge of making the pie? 4. (obvious), many people would add as much happiness as possible. Do you know why? It’s 5. happiness stands for sweetness in most people’s minds.
Don’t think of it just as a comparison. Happiness is a flower living in the sunshine, and 6. is not difficult to reach for it. We have a variety of 7. (emotion) like sadness, anger, fear, enthusiasm and happiness, and they all appear naturally when something 8. (affect) our feelings. So, if we can change our attitude to things in the world, we can certainly adjust our emotions.

If we can be happy, why not choose to be? Let’s try together to create a world filled with 10. (smile) faces and sunshine.
When I tell people I wrote a book with my dad, they usually say, “It must be nice to think of the legacy (遗产) you created with someone who means so much to you.”

“It was more confrontation (对抗) than____,” my dad likes to say. I agree.
When we landed a book deal, we began a writing ____ that was more difficult than either of us had ____, but also far more rewarding.
For almost three years, we met once or twice a week at my parents’ house and talked daily to plan and ____ each chapter.

Think about how much reading you do everyday. When you look at it, you might find that reading is the work-related skill that you use most often! 1. After all, if we can read and comprehend textbooks, then aren’t we good readers? Maybe not. Given the time that reading consumes, it may be a skill that we can and should improve.
2. It means getting faster and more efficient at reading, while still understanding what you’re reading. Although you spend a good part of your day reading, have you ever thought about how you read? How do your eyes make sense of the shapes of the letters, and then put those letters together to form sentences that you can understand?
Reading is quite a complex skill. It was previously believed during reading, both eyes focus on particular letters.3. Scientists now believe that the eyes lock onto different letters at the same time, usually two characters apart. Your brain then fuses (融合) these images together to form a word. This happens very swiftly, as we look through pages of text！
Many people read at an average rate of 250 words per minute. 4.
Imagine, then, if you could double your rate to 500 words per minute. 5. You could then spend the saved time on other tasks, or take a few extra minutes to relax. Another important advantage of speed reading is that it allows one to better comprehend the overall structure of an argument. This leads to better “big picture” understanding, which can greatly benefit your work and career.
A.Recent research shows this isn’t the case.
B.Speed reading has a great many benefits.
C.You should practice to improve your reading speed.
D.But what does becoming a better reader involve?
E.You could read all of this content in half the time.
F.It’s also a skill that most of us take for granted by the time we reach age 12.
G.This means that an average page in a book or document takes 1-2 minutes to read.
They make a guest appearance in at least half of the articles on Medical News Today. They are responsible for many of the biggest breakthroughs in medicine. However, the humble lab mice also shoulder much of the blame when the failure of drugs to translate from animal models to humans keeps worrying the whole of medical research. Should scientists abandon lab mice altogether?
Mice were introduced into the lab back in the 1920s. An ambitious young American geneticist Clarence Cook Little strongly believed that cancer was an inheritable (有遗传性的) disease, and that mice were the ideal subjects for his experiments.
Other animals were, and still are, used to study disease. Cats and dogs are popular, as well as chimpanzees. Of course, ethical (伦理的) considerations get more complicated the further up the food chain you go. And mice are in sufficient numbers for researchers to conduct thousands of trials. Add to that the problem of cost: A standard lab mouse costs about $20---far cheaper than a healthy cat or dog. So their importance in scientific research has become well-established.
We share more than 97 percent of our working DNA with mice, a consequence of a shared ancestor 75 million years ago. This similarity has been both a blessing and a curse. While we share many basic biological processes, it is the three percent of the genes which set us apart from mice that can have a big influence on how our bodies work.
Mice may not always be the perfect model for understanding our own bodies, but they do hold real value to researchers. Their usefulness will only increase as scientists work out better ways to modify (修改) their genes to compensate for their shortcomings. The difficult part of the issue may be that researchers need to be more critical as they evaluate the type of model that is best for their experiment.
In the end, the story of scientists’ relationship with lab mice will possibly be one of gradual advances to improve an imperfect system. This is exactly how most scientific research progresses — by critically examining what we know to expand our knowledge of what we do not.
